Soon, I will be eating out of my lunch box six days a week. I have the lunch meat thing down, scoped out the best deli potato salad, and packed away enough canned fruit to last until Labor Day. I have also recently discovered the joy of vanilla yogurt.

To add variety, what other kinds of things should I be packing?

If you have access to a microwave, leftovers make great lunches.

my office has a frig, toaster and microwave...that opens a world of opportunity.

Bacon for sammiches if you so choose....wraps for those sammiches when you are sick of bread. Canned goods if you happen to have access to a microwave. Taco salad is always a winner.

Help us help you by telling us what you have access to besides your lunchbox....

Why do you have to eat out of a lunch box this time of year?

He talked about yogurt and deli potato salad so I assume he at least has ice packs.

I don't, but I can warm burritos and cans of soup on the intake manifold of my pickup.

Yes, but work will do that if I eat healthy.

Agricultural sales. I spend April through October checking fields and delivering chemical.

No, I just leave it on the dash of my pickup...

I should have said "small cooler" instead of lunch box. And I do have ice packs.

If you have a cooler, you could bring salads and fruits, pretty easily. Also, greens mixed with fruits like strawberries, melons and pecans or walnuts, with a vinaigrette make a nice lunch. You can throw in some grilled chicken, if you like.

Cold soups can be very satisfying during hot months. Gazpachos, melon based soups and other pureed vegetable soups are good cold soups.

You can heat up most leftovers from the night before on the manifold, just wrap in hd foil..

Cool job. You should have an expense account where you can take farmers out to lunch all the time. At least these chemical reps down here do...

I work in retail; the company reps have the fat expense accounts. Back in the day reps would buy their good dealers prostitutes. No joke.

I've never been called that, but I guess I am. I scout and sample fields, make chemical and fertilizer recommendations, and sell the product. I am paid to sell product, not consult.

The change started in the mid-90's but SarBox finished it. I have a friend whose father owned a fertilizer dealership in the early 80's. His dad took him to the Indiana Plant Food Association meeting one year. They were hanging out in a hospitality room one evening when two VERY attractive (OT 8.7) women in their mid-20's came over and started talking to him. He was working the best game on them a 17 year old kid can; and it was working.

This goes on for a while until his dad grabs his arm and says, "We're leaving." He says, "But Dad, I'd like to hang around for a while." Dad says NO and drags him out of there. He realized years later those women were prostitutes hired to work the crowd by whomever was paying for the hospitality room.
